Symbolism is huge this Spring/Summer and what better way to use this trend than through tribal pattern.
Tribes for centuries have used symbols, patterns and colour as a form of communication and expression, which is similar within interior design. Symbolism can be expressed in a variety of ways be it design, fabrics, products… no product is too big or small.
A prime example of a subtle use of tribal designs is the Tango lamp by Chris Bose Contemporary Furniture. The use of additional sculpted art to the lamp stand brings out the tribal essence of the design.
Animals have always been a main factor in tribal life so what better way to show this than through the essence of design. A great way to incorporate such a pattern could be through carpet.
Blenheim Carpets have a great print range or a why not try a unique piece of furniture within a room like The Odd Chair Company’s Ottoman.
A great way to incorporate tribal is within art, imagery and now heating. The Glass Radiator Company do a alternative take on heating and do a fantastic tribal artwork on a glass radiator.
Tribal can be as obvious or as faint as you make it be it quirky patterns, prints or design but this is a trend that will help you make a symbolic statement within your home.
Also tribal is hitting the catwalk be it accessories or clothing. Shimu has taken this fashion statement and created their own tribal interpretation in accessories.
